Prompt Fiction
We keep hearing about AI, prompting and now, due to a few companies releasing VERY problematic AI products (ahem, Grok), the concept of Responsible AI (RAI) has come front and center. And OF COURSE testers (now called red-teamers!) are responsible for Responsible AI. But what is it actually, and why does it matter? The way we build and validate solutions with AI is different to the way we currently create and validate solutions. This keynote will explore how to build AND validate AI-infused solutions and WHY RAI matters. This keynote is for anyone starting in the AI solution space and setting up AI governance boards. Dona and Chris will SHOW you what happens when you do NOT respect RAI standards and WHY these are important. They will then explore the concepts of deterministic models vs. non-deterministic models and how to set up a digital safety board to manage these solutions. Finally, they will delve into EU AI legislation and why these matters in your solution build. Join Dona and Chris as they show you a LIVE customer example that you can test out yourself! This is going to get really intense really fast, so prepare!
